How bad was/is Paddy Bradleys injury?

Concussion, he gets it quite often 3 times in the last 2 years I think. Should recover that in a matter of hours.

it was reported after his initial 'break' from the squad that he'd suffered concussion twice in the previous 2/3 months, certainly was taken off against Dublin with it. Apparently on saturday his vision was badly blurred after shipping a heavy knock to the head (of course, nobody saw it).

Did anybody else notice at the end of the game, when the players were heading back to the changing rooms, the Donegal Full Back was making a charge for the exit, and had to be held back by other Dun Na Ngall players and supporters. Something had obviously happened because he was stone mad.

Awk Neill Mc Gee is a bit of an arsehole anyway.

Your still banging that drum are you girlie? You're a sole voice of excuse-making in a dignified and sporting reaction from Derry folk.
By my count, it is a minority of Derry posters on this board who do not have a compulsive need to badmouth the opposition, whether after losing or in victory. SDG is just at the extreme end of bad taste, from a sporting perspective..

MS Thought most of the Derry posters I read on Sat night Sun morn were gracious enough.

Take everything this Monaghan poster says about Derry with a pinch of salt. He's just bitter because we beat them twice and is still trying to come to terms with us having better footballers than them.

He got in in the NLF as well. I saw it happen it was an accident tho it happened over at the far side near the stand around the 21 Derry were shooting into in the 2nd half.

It happened right in front of me and didnt seem too much like an accident. The same player hit skinner a belt in the gob 5 mins later and no-ne saw it either! If they had been seen (How the Tyrone linesman missed it or the ref who was 10 yards away I'll never knoewI cant see how the ref could have done anything but send the player in question off, but at the same time it was the only near dirty incident in the whole game so no real complaints. More a complaint about the ref than the Donegal player as he came over and lectured both paddy and eoin I'm assuming for "pretending" to be hurt. Thats a dangerous tactic from a ref...particularly PB as he was concussed and that could potentially have been a very serious injury.

Did any of you see the slap big Joe [Diver] hit one of the McGees after the match on Saturday night. I wonder what was it about?

JMohan · July 21, 2009, 08:15:10 AM

Concussion is hard to diagnose

Must have been why McGee made a run for the exit at the end of the game

INDIANA · July 21, 2009, 08:20:46 AM

Derry need some defenders from somewhere in the full back line. Good forwards- good midfield but bar O Kane I think the rest of the backs are suspect.

JMohan · July 21, 2009, 08:26:55 AM

I think the defenders are in Derry for the FB line
The Half Forward line is a trouble line too

Came to terms with it unreservedly, immediately after both games and wrote as much. Gracious in defeat

at a guess I'd say it was wing half back McGee, he was acting the clown all game

tonesfirstandlast · July 21, 2009, 11:35:06 AM

Yes, it was the wing half back one. He came over to big Joe after the game and Joe punched him one in the face and then ran down the tunnel and then the other brother tried to get down the tunnel after him.

So Diver hit one of the McGees a box in the mouth and then run

How does this result affect Derrys position as a top 4 team?

Are they now fifth?

Derry were never in the top four. There is no such grouping. As much at it pains me Tyrone are clear of the rest with a group of maybe Dublin, Cork & Kerry ranked next and after that its a fight for the crumbs from the table.

Well it was hardly ever an official title.

But basically outside of Tyrone at the minute, any Ulster team can beat another Ulster team on a given day.
Happy to see this result and hope Donegal can ensure two Ulster teams stay in the mix for a bit longer.
